Taught at: FLAME, Campfire, Fahrenheit
What’s your secret power?
When I’m teaching or performing…Leviwand is all just water bending! It’s all about that push and pull with your body and your prop.
When you aren’t a flow super hero, what is your Clark Kent alias?
I am a specialty pharmacy technician. I work with Hiv, Hep C, soft organ transplants, oncology, and children with Cystic Fibrosis.
What are your main classes?
- Get Tricky With It: This is a class that gets you ready for the more intense Leviwand tech to come. I break down the basic Contact Wand moves and string manipulation.
- Leviwand Isolations: This class goes over many isolation variations. We start with palm isolations, then floating isolations, split string isolations, we will touch into antispin into isolations, and end with floating CAPS.
- Contact Wand 101: In this class I will throw you head on into Contact Wand. I’ll go over arm rolls, halo rolls, balance points, all Teeter-Totter variations, slides, and the five point contact combo.
Additional Teaching: Wombat, Monkey See Monkey Do, Flame, Flow Market, Winter Fire Arts, Camp Fire, Fahrenheit, Wildfire, and New England Flow Fest
